New Order - Republic

NEW VINYL LP ON RHINO 2015

180 GRAM VINYL

The massively influential band New Order formed in Manchester, England, in 1980, rising from the ashes of U.K. post-punk pioneers Joy Division (after singer Ian Curtis took his own life). Guitarist Bernard Sumner assumed vocal duties for the new unit, and with drummer Stephen Morris, bassist Peter Hook, and keyboardist Gillian Gilbert, made music history. Successfully fusing new wave, electronica, synth-pop, and club music earlier than many bands now seen as contemporaries, their unique sound was as insightful and soulful as it was perfectly suited for the dance floor. 1993's Republic is the band's Mercury Prize-nominated sixth studio effort, their first issued following the demise of Factory Records and last prior to an 8 year hiatus. Home to the alt-pop singles "Regrent," "World," and "Spooky."
